Hazard reporting app for Australian construction sites

What the worker does

A hazard is easiest to describe the moment you see it, and hardest to type with gloves on. So the report is spoken. The worker taps the mic, says what they see and where, takes a photo or two, and sends it. The phone adds GPS when it has it.

• Tap the mic, describe the hazard, tap stop
• Add photos in the same report
• Send it, or let it wait if there is no signal
• Report confidentially when the matter is sensitive

What the manager gets

The voice note is transcribed and drafted into a written record with a WHS category and a suggested priority. The manager sees the draft beside the worker’s own words, then confirms or edits it. A report that may be notifiable is flagged with the state regulator named, and the record can be printed as a WHS PDF for the file or an inspector.

The AI suggests and the manager decides. The AI’s draft and the manager’s edits are stored separately, so the record shows both.

No signal, no problem

Basements, cuttings and remote sites lose signal. Each report is saved on the phone and sent from a queue, so it goes out when the connection comes back instead of being lost.

Getting a crew on it

Put the site QR poster at the gate or in the site office. A worker scans it, joins in the browser with a name and email, and is shown how to install the app on that phone, whether Android or iPhone. Nobody needs an app store account, and the manager does not type anyone in.

What it costs

• Site: A$99 a month for 1 site and up to 3 managers
• Team: A$249 a month for up to 5 sites and 10 managers
• Business: A$499 a month for up to 20 sites

Prices are in Australian dollars. Workers are free and unlimited on every plan, so a forty-person crew costs the same as a four-person one. You can start with a 30-day trial of the Team plan, and no card is needed.

Limits, stated plainly

Haznote does hazard and incident reporting, with a WHS record at the end. It is not an inspection, training or asset platform, and it does not notify a regulator for you: it flags a report that may be notifiable and names the regulator, and a manager makes the call. Voice recognition can mishear names and technical terms, so the original recording stays with every report.
